As a basis for the process ranking and improvement the automotive manufacturers demand from their suppliers the use of Automotive SPICE® as an ISO/IEC 15504/330xx compliant assessment model which is aligned to the needs of the automotive industry. This training covers the process assessment model and the process reference model of Automotive SPICE®.
The training conveys the necessary skills for taking over the tasks of a Competent Assessor in an assessment according to Automotive SPICE®. The training builds on the material of the Provision Assessor training in addition to the practical experience of participation in assessments as a co-assessor. One of the main aspects of the training is thus an exchange of experience among the participants and gaining a deeper knowledge of the application of Automotive SPICE® against the background of this experience.
